1.1. Discuss Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning in the Cognitive Domain
Bloom's Taxonomy, developed by Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues in the 1950s,
provides a hierarchical classification of cognitive skills that educators can use to guide
the development of learning objectives, instructional activities, and assessments. The
cognitive domain, which addresses mental skills and knowledge, comprises six levels:
Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
The first level, Knowledge, represents the foundational tier where learners are expected
to recall facts, terms, basic concepts, or answers without necessarily understanding
their meanings. This level is critical as it forms the basis upon which higher-order
thinking skills are built. Activities at this level include listing, identifying, and naming
various elements within a subject area.
